Our boys might have a way to go before they achieve all the things that Cipo have, but they are relatively young on the scene - it was the 80s before an Australian cyclist won the maillot jaune in the tour. They will get there. I'm mainly saying though, that if Cipo pulls out when this tour hits the mountains as he has done in the past, then the question has to be asked what type of cyclist is he who is captain of his team and pulls out of a tour without injury because of mountains, when 100+ riders are suffering similarly yet have the guts needed to make it through the mountains and down to the Champs Elysees. They didn't allow Domina Vacanze into the tour last year for those reasons (the star of the team had pulled out too many times) and if he does it again he will only be proving such a decision correct.

As for looks, there are so many good looking men on the tour that it would be hard to choose between them!
